The Storm Is Over Now

"Happiness, where are you? You were here, but now you're gone." You say this so often that you feel you can't go on. You cry yourself to sleep at night. Often you feel ill. It's okay to cry, don't be afraid of the way you feel. There before you is a gun, so you sit and contemplate. Maybe you should do it. Maybe it's best that you leave this place. Now you may be wondering who in this story this may be. I am speaking of myself...yes, this poem is about me. You see, I was so lonely. So often I felt depressed. I didn't care about life, because mine was all a mess. I used to be happy one moment, and then suddenly wish life was over. I didn't know my condition then; it was called, bi-polar. I use to hear these voices...voices in my head. Doctors wanted to help me, but no was all I said. You see I was stubborn. I didn't want any help. I knew I'd defeat this monster, so I tried to do it myself. But the voices continued, "You're nothing but a coward!" They would often whisper, and their whispers were getting louder. Call it crazy if you want to, but really I don't care. Please continue reading, for I'm taking you somewhere. I started reading Scripture, believing everything I read. Faith took over me, resurrecting what was dead. One day I became determined. I took control of life. Said to myself, "I'll win this battle. Think I'll be alright." With faith I moved the mountains of depression. I took back my life. I began to get stronger, it's then I KNEW I would be alright! I gave you poems like "How does it feel," and "What can't kill you" to name a few. I conquered bi-polar with the mind, giving you the poem, "The winner in you." Now some may say that's crazy, "You can't beat bi-polar with the mind." With enough mustard seed faith you can do anything I did find! So don't let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. If no one else will stand by you, I'll be there, I believe in you! So here I am now today. I made it someway somehow. Peace I found within my life, the storm is over now. ******************************************************* "Whatever you can conceive in the mind you can achieve."
